Joe Fresh has done it for many seasons and Express closed out the week this time, but is there a place for brands like that at Fashion Week? To some, having mass markets show at Fashion Week defeats the purpose – it isn’t really “fashion,” while to others would say both lines are “accessible” by […]
Ottawa Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2013 shows flew by during the show dates of October 12th-14th. The venue this season was the quaint and comfortable environment of Sala San Marco on Preston St. The three days of shows offered designers locally from Ottawa as well as designers from Ottawa, Montreal, USA and more. The location was […]
Anybody who knows me, knows I’m a total nerd for comic books and for that ‘one of a kind’ shirt! Now, imagine my amazement to find an Ottawa based clothing company that appeals to both of those needs? (yes I said needs). I had the opportunity to chat a bit with the wonderful duo (Angie […]
The first Ann Taylor store in Canada, which officially opens at the Toronto Eaton Centre today, celebrated with a private grand opening party last evening. The store, located on the third floor next to the Apple Store, features many of this season’s pieces, including a small petites collection, which is good news for those of […]
Some of you may have seen my tweet yesterday questioning a pair of leggings from J.Crew’s latest update, selling for $650 (and over $760 in Canada). I realize that this is from their “collection” line, which is always much higher-priced, considering the material and such, but did it have to be that much higher? And […]
Yesterday, US-based designer Jason Wu announced a more affordable line, Miss Wu, which will exclusively be available at Nordstrom stores and online (great news for international fans!). This line, according to WWD, will feature both ready-to-wear pieces, with accessories being added at a later date. Source: wwd.com via WWD on Pinterest A look from […]
A while back, we posted a piece about Yorkdale’s renovations and asked what stores you’d like see open there (followed up last week by a piece updating on speculated stores). So now we turn to another major shopping district in Toronto, the Bloor-Yorkville area. This area has one of the highest rents for a shopping […]
Whoops! The news is not true, according to a note from a rep at Oxford Properties. The floor plan that was originally posted in this article was not supposed to be public and has since been removed. However, the Ann Taylor/Kate Spade speculation is still on my books, especially after Kate Spade sponsored a TIFF […]
The very first show of the week was Lucian Matis, held at the Royal York Hotel. However, before the presentation, attendees were treated to a reception of sparkling wine and hors d’oeuvres (the food was not too bad, albeit a little on the brown side). One of the sponsors, Smashbox, was there to give lip […]
After shutting down for nearly two months due to flooding, Canada’s first Intermix store in Toronto’s Yorkville area has once again opened its doors! Stock is filled spring-ready items in bright, gorgeous colours. In addition, any discounts that were received late last year will be honoured until March 1. Good news for those of us […]
